Steve Kherkher - September 11, 2026
As students return to school across Houston, familiar traffic patterns change quickly. School buses return to residential streets, drop-off and pickup lines create congestion, more children are walking on sidewalks, and more teen drivers are on the roads during the morning and afternoon commutes.
In this month’s Badge & Gun article, our team takes a closer look at the traffic risks that come with the back-to-school season. Our car accident attorneys particularly want to highlight the risks involving children and the importance of safety near school zones, bus stops, drop-off areas, and teenage drivers.
School zones can bring together many of the factors that make traffic accidents more likely:
Children are especially vulnerable because they may not recognize the risks posed by approaching vehicles.
Drivers have an important role to play in keeping everyone safe this back-to-school season. Drivers can promote safety by slowing down, remaining alert, following school-zone traffic controls. It is important for drivers to watch carefully for children in and around crosswalks and bus stops. Teen drivers should be particularly careful to be alert and avoid distractions.
The beginning of the school year is a good time for families to revisit basic traffic safety.
Sometimes, even the best and most conscientious drivers or pedestrians are involved in accidents. When that happens, understanding what occurred, and how to handle the situation, is important. Photos of the scene, witness information, school or traffic-camera footage, and other records may help establish how the accident occurred and who may be at-fault.
